Dynamic Block Flip Arrows

[wr.marshall]

I am trying to create a block that flips the shape which I manage no problem, but then I am also trying to flip the flip arrows that control the flips. one is vertical the other horizontal. when I flip one away from the starting position (vertical) then flip the other away (horizontal) the vertical one does not flip. I have simplified the dwg to just flipping a simple block, but if someone can get the arrows to flip to, can they explain what I need to do for my block.

The arrow moves with the flip basepoint (middle point of the flip line).  You have the two flip basepoints on top of each other so neither moves when the other flip is activated and because the basepoints do not move, neither do the grips.  If only all of life's problems were so easily solved.  🙂  See the screencast:

Thank you for your solution. Your explanation makes sense.

@Libbya,

I'm looking for the same solution for the case, but the video is no longer found. Could you help me?

[Libbya]

I can only help if you post the block.  You might even want to start your own thread on it.

@Libbya,

I appreciate your help,
It would be better if I could modify the block so I could analyze it, and the other people looking for the same solution.

thanks for your help

The CENTER grip of the flip line is the flip parameter base point.  Movement of that point moves the grip accordingly.  When you placed 'Flip state 1' you placed it so that its base point is ON the 'Flip state 2' line.  Because of that placement, the base point does not move when Flip state 2 is activated and without the base point being moved, the flip grip does not move.  The solution is to place the base point of the Flip state 1 parameter at the grip location.
